I think you need some black lands to play the {lingering souls} flashback. I also think tamyo is to slow and bad as a one of. You should use {mana leak} over {cancel} while you still can. {vapor snag} over {unsummon} and add {ponder} while you still can use it. I like the deck idea by the way.

I may end up splitting the mana leaks and the cancels just because leak can be paid for.
Unsummon is pretty much only there to bounce my guys due to the overwhelming board wipes available.
I'll have to ponder ponder for a bit. Not really sure if the draw is necessary. : /
Also thanks. I think that over time and with the right tinkering this could be considered  somewhat  of a contender.

Closing Time

The main worries I have with exalted is being chump blocked all day and the opponent casting removal on your exalted creature. I see you have Invisible Stalker and lots of flyers so that will help. Have you considered either Faiths Shield or Artful dodge to force the damage through. I'd also be tempted to splash green for Rancor.

The M13 blue enchant Tricks of the Trade could be useful. +2/+0 and unblockable.

Rancor is frickin amazing. I would for sure find a way to put rancor in any exalted deck.

I'm not sure I could lose the control package. 😁

I've updated the list a bit added in {ponder}
And a couple of swamps to flash back LS.

Do you think {rancor} is worth the spot? What should I take out?

Closing Time

Looking more in depth, I cut the Cathedral of War by 2 as it comes in tapped and this deck needs tempo. I'd also agree with replacing Cancel with Mana Leak entirely as your 3 drop spot is rather full.
I would also replace Silverblade Paladin with Mirran Crusader as its protection from black and green neuters a large amount of removal and blocking creatures.
Another card to consider would be Spellskite as, for U or 2 life , you can redirect removal away from your exalted attacker.

Thanks for noticing the cathedral, didnt see it came in tapped first time i read it. 
I've dropped it down to 3 of because it doesn't need to tap to give exalted. :) (primary use}
I like {mirran crusader}, but I'm sticking with silver blade due to giving my stalker double strike. He is pretty much the win con.
{invisible Stalker} with a {silver inled dagger} and a couple of exalted trigger paired with {silver blade paladin} is a nasty two turn clock.
If anything I can side in a set of MC if the Opponent is black or green.
